The Browning household was a centre of British society in Florence although it was said that Theodosia Trollope's house was more care free.

By that time, Casa Guidi was in poor shape, and the apartment retained hardly any furniture or paintings.

The Browning Society in New York restored it, before giving it to Eton College which undertook further work so that the building could be used as a study centre.

Today, it is part of The Eton College Collections, but is administered by the Landmark Trust, who also look after the apartment above the one where John Keats died in Rome.

[2] Casa Guidi is open to the public for 3:00–6:00 p.m. on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays from April to November.
